There's no way to know what will happen with Ben Simmons as the Philadelphia 76ers' point guard on offense.

Sixers coach Brett Brown has said he decided to try the 6-foot-10 Simmons as the point guard during the 2016-17 season in which Simmons sat out because of a fractured right foot. Brown would show the recuperating Simmons film and pick Simmons' brain about how he would handle the situation, and Brown liked what he heard enough to say he felt like he needed to give this a shot.

The beauty of Markelle Fultz's impending arrival as the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday night's NBA Draft is that the Sixers are covered either way.
